HEAT CONDUCTANCE OSCILLATIONS IN TWO WEAKLY CONNECTED CHARGE KONDO CIRCUITS

T. K. T. NGUYEN, AND M. N. KISELEV

Abstract. We revisit a model describing the Seebeck effect on a weak link between two charge Kondo circuits, which has been proposed in the [Phys. Rev. B 97, 085403 (2018)]. We calculate the thermoelectric coefficients in the perturbation theory assuming smallness of the reflection amplitudes of the quantum point contacts. We focus on the linear response equations for the heat conductance in three different scenarios as: Fermi liquid vs Fermi liquid, Fermi liquid vs nonFermi liquid, non-Fermi liquid vs non-Fermi liquid. The oscillations of the heat conductance as a function of the gate voltage of each quantum dot are analyzed in both Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid regimes. We discuss possible experimental realizations of the model to observe the signatures of the non-Fermi liquid behavior in the heat conductance measurements. Keywords: thermoelectric transport, heat conductance, single/multi-channel charge Kondo effect. Classification numbers: 73.23.Hk, 73.50.Lw, 72.15.Qm, 73.21.La
